On May 20th 1950, Leo married Barbara Graham and together they raised three children. At the outset of the Korean war, Leo was called to join the US Air Force and proudly served his country. After being discharged from the Air Force, Leo went to work for Pacific Northwest Bell as a District Plant Engineer.

He devoted 37 years to them and retired to partake in a variety of pastimes. In his spare time, Leo enjoyed fishing and clamming. His love for the Air Force still showed as he could be found often playing with RC planes.

When not enjoying winters in Arizona, he spent a good deal of time at a variety of organizations. Leo was a lifetime member of the Keizer Elks. Along with that, he was a Master Mason, a Telephone Pioneer and a member of the Eagles.

Not only was he involved in so many organizations, he also was one of the original founders of the Portland Amateur Hockey Association, Mt. Tabor Little League, and the McNary Golf Club. His first wife, Barbara, passed away in July of 1997.

However, in October of 1998, he found love again and married Mary Ann in Keizer OR. Leo is survived by his wife Mary Ann Chandler of Keizer, OR; his daughter Donna Strobel (Greg) of Bethlehem, PA; daughter Linda Hirneise (David) of Scottsdale, AZ; and son Donald Chandler (Sherry) of Keizer, OR. Leo is also survived by his grandchildren: Jennifer Baldwin, Christine Napoli, Grant Hirneise, Donnie Chandler, and Heather Chandler.
